This thread is intended as a companion to "Newly released and upcoming toys: Hasbro edition", as suggested by some of the folks over there. Generations (Fall of Cybertron & Thrilling 30) has now been completely removed from the ongoing thread and is archived here instead. In case one of these toys suddenly shows up in another market long after the fact, it will also be pointed out here.

It continues to be available as an FBA item via Amazon.) Discussion is welcome, including suggestions for how to distinguish this archive thread further from the ongoing one.
Now with Fall of Cybertron (including HTS/SDCC Bruticus, which is branded "Generations") and the Ultimate Gift Set. Two questions: 1) Were the Legends Eject/Ramhorn and Rewind/Sunder waves ever available at Canadian retail, or were they only available online? 2) Was the HTS/SDCC version of Metroplex branded "Generations" anywhere on the packaging or in the instructions?
for SEA, these are out (or have been out) at retail. commander scale: tailgate n skrapnel been out for awhile. nemesis and cliffjumper, most recent. voyager: whirl, months back. most recent, roadbuster n skybyte. deluxe: windblades wave most recent. leader: jetfire, most recent.
I remember seeing them at my local Target earlier this year. They may in fact still be there given how slowly they moved.
Hmm, you're right about that. I just had a look through the news postings as well. I'm guessing they just got lost in the shuffle, but who knows. I did go through the Ontario Sightings Thread there and found some posts from early April 2013 from users reporting them at Toys R Us. The post in question is here, but I don't think it's viewable without an account.
Quite a few releases went that way. Like the Beast Hunters deluxe waves. Also voyager Whirl is out at Canadian retail*, I've seen him at Wal-Mart twice. Always when I didn't have money. *Link
Cliffjumper (Toys R Us), Nemesis Prime (Toys R Us), Rattrap (bought at Target, saw at Wal-Mart), Tankor (Target), Skybite (Target) and Roadbuster (Target) are out at retail in US. I've bought all of them at retail.
As I said before: Currently released and upcoming toys are listed in the other thread, this one is an archive for the older stuff. All the ones you name are listed there.
Quick question, hopefully someone here can answer...were Generations Autobot Whirl, Autobot Scoop, and the Autobot Tailgate & Groundbuster 2-pack ever released in Europe? MIKE engledogg
And that, my friends, are the Fall of Cybertron and Thrilling 30 portions of the Generations line in their entirety.
It's worth noting that at least TWO cases of T30 Voyagers are currntly showing up widely in the UK as Grey Imports. Seen so far are Springer, Rhinox, Whirl, Roadbuster & Skybyte. See recent posts in http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...ted-kingdom-transformers-sightings-20000.html
